+Perforce Source
+---------------
+The Perforce (P4) importer can be given a p4 depot path or a client
+specification as source. It will convert all files in the source to
+a flat Mercurial repository, ignoring labels, branches and integrations.
+Note that when a depot path is given you then usually should specify a
+target directory, because otherwise the target may be named ...-hg.
+It is possible to limit the amount of source history to be converted
+by specifying an initial Perforce revision.
+--config convert.p4.startrev=0           (perforce changelist number)
+specify initial Perforce revision.
 Mercurial Destination

 --config convert.hg.clonebranches=False   (boolean)
